I hope the best for the franchise, and I hope that Taylor gets the support and help that she needs to get into a good place. I agree with the decision to not go forward with the season at that time. It just didn&#8217;t seem like the appropriate thing to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2946\">When asked if she was in a group chat with other Bachelor Nation stars, she added: &#8220;I am not part of the lead Bachelorette group text, but if you talk to Trista, she says that, in that group, she sent her a message of support and that Taylor responded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2946\">Ashley also said of Taylor&#8217;s season: &#8220;I think a lot of people would watch it if they put it on Hulu. If they put it on in a binge form, it would be interesting just to see how fans take to the binge form. It would work in the advertiser&#8217;s sense rather than having it on ABC.
